Best Turkey Meatballs EVA!


I don't know about you, 
but sometimes turkey meatballs 
can have a texture of a sponge. 
But I have figured out a secret!
I was so thrilled when my experimenting paid off 
just adding shredded veggies 
created a juicy meatball 
that we are addicted to 
now I make several pounds 
and freeze them for quick meals! 

Here are the basics:




1# Turkey



1 shredded sweet potato 



1 shredded zucchini



1 egg


tsp Greek seasoning




Use food processor to shred sweet potato and zuchinni.




 Change blades to blend blade

Add ground turkey, egg & seasoning.








 Blend well   Make small meatballs





Brown in cast iron skillet with coconut oil

Then lower heat, 

cover with glass lid to steam

until cooked through




ENJOY!!



I love it served with sweet potato hashbrowns garnished with Sweet Bavarian Mustard or in Alfredo with Spaghetti Squash

Be creative, 
let me know how they turn out and how you serve them!

Spinach Bacon Quiche w Sweet Potato Crust


Spinach Bacon Quiche w Sweet Potato Crust



I had seen several recipes for a quiche using sweet potatoes as the crust. After trying a few recipes and tweaking things the way I prefer with the tools I love...this is how it turned out. Simply Amazing!

Ingredients:

2-3 Sweet Potatoes thinly sliced
3 strips turkey bacon diced/cooked
1/4 small red onion diced
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup mozzarella shredded
4-6 eggs
1/4 cup  -1/2&1/2

Preheat over to 400

Lightly spray glass pie dish with olive oil
Using a mandolin, thinly slice unpeeled sweet potatoes
Line the pan, layering potatoes to form crust
Bake 400 for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned



Remove from oven, lower temp to 350

Add Bacon, Onions and Spinach to crust
Whip eggs with 1/2 &1/2
Pour over veggies
Cover with cheese

Bake for 20-25 minutes until eggs are set and cheese melted.


Enjoy!
